Gamers Universe writes: "Combining the monstrous Guitar Hero franchise with Nintendo's all-conquering touch-screen handheld seems like the ultimate money-making match made in heaven. Sales of both obliterate the competition on a monotonously regular basis, so surely Guitar Hero: On Tour represents another opportunity to further domination by these two gaming behemoths. Right?
Well... yes and no.
"Yes" because even though it's barely been on sale for a month or so, On Tour has sold a staggering number of copies - even the new DS/GH bundles are vanishing by the proverbial bucket load. But also "No" because, from a gamer's perspective, this has to be considered a massive disappointment."
Pros:
+Remains true to GH template
+24 varied tracks
+It's brilliant – when it works
Cons:
-Cramp inducing controls
-Tinny compressed audio
-Inaccurate strum mechanics

GoozerNation author Ryan Johnson loves delving into the Value Bin and Available Now sections of Goozex to find a game that perhaps was wanted back in the day, but wasn't purchased because it was just too much of a risk. Last time in, he found Guitar Hero: On Tour Decades for a mere 100 Goozex points. While it was a bit pricey back in the day, this was an unpassable deal. Is the game worth searching out?

Chris Buffa (Modojo): For the most part, the video game industry is fairly predictable and disinterested in taking risks. That explains the glut of sequels and copycat titles collecting dust in stores and warehouses.
That said, a handful of companies and designers occasionally do something different. Results have been mixed, but by and large, these games stand out for offering a unique experience you can't find anyplace else.
